OwO I actually prefer to use @Orbital_phoenix 's Station Tug parts to make a 2.5m BigG Service module. I only use 2 RL10 engines in his 4 engine plate and a Hydrolox tank. Then I put an APAS active port between the Engines.... It is how an Apollo Launched BigG, with an Apollo derrived SM would have looked for the most part. I hate to say this but BigG is where the TRAILS provided parts seems to.... I don't know... Fall Apart. Aside from the addon BigG Crew module (that does not even come close to representing a real BigG as proposed) and it's associated Heatshield there are no BigG parts in this mod. That isn't to say there are not a lot of GREAT parts in this mod that allow you to cobble together a BigG but..... Not a BigG as proposed. Part of that goes down to not enough different BigG modules (2crew and lots of cargo to 8 crew and no cargo were the IRL variants.) In game we have what, 4 crew and no cargo. Asside from making multiple BigG pod addons which will add confusion to the "weekend" gamer, or a major re-design of the entire Gemini Parts list (eliminating the Trails parts,) I don't see a solution. I have been playing around in Blender on my own Gemini capsule... One with attachment points for the landing gears needed for the Rogilo wing, one with the a proper BigG module, 2 part service module/reentry system etc... Long story short I am not as good at modeling as I thought I was (and I absolutely HORRIBLE at Texturing.) And yes BigG should have the same type of cutouts for Landing gears on it's "bottom" Both Gemini and BigG had multiple proposals to re-design to use the Rogilo wing after the inital Gemini program was procured. IRL the Landing gear cutouts were used on the actual Gemini capsule to store additional Life Support as well as science experiments for the various flights.

Restart ability on the "SafeSolid" SRBs was removed in 1.5.0. They were never intended to be restartable, but when I originally made them I either didn't know you could disable that, or it wasn't an option in the engine cfg module. One of the many changes I forgot to document properly, apologies if that messes up any of your flight plans. 16 hours ago, Svm420 said: Pardon if it's been asked before, but is big gemini a possiblity for this pack? Yes. As others have said, the crew cabin is already in the mod because it was part of the original Trails Inc mod that we absorbed. I started working on a conical (2.5m > 3.75m) Big G service module last year but never finished it. I wasn't happy with the direction and quality so I'll probably redo at least the textures from scratch once I circle back to it. I'd also like to do the "expanded 2.5m" cylindrical service module. EDIT: I might try and do a brief dev stream this afternoon (1-3 hours) once I finish the chores/errands I need to get done today. Starting NET 2 PM Eastern (~2 1/2 hours from the original time of this post). Edited February 3, 2019 by CobaltWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svm420 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the replies guys/gals. Didn't know the crew cabin was already in the mod that's really what I was looking for. Also, don't think I had heard of trails so nice to know about that. Love this mod! Edited February 3, 2019 by Svm420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappystein Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 So first of @CobaltWolf WoW! the new LR-87 models bring so MUCH more detail and artistry to the Titan's First stage. if you are willing would you expand on what LR-87 variants you are planning on? I love the fact that you have gimballing Actuators on these engines, the Original, which I thought looked better than the stock Bobcat, looks PLAIN and DULL compared to your latest efforts. Well done good sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this by accident but I love this, I use either mechjebs scripts or smart parts timers to allow programable burn times and then shutoff. I always role played them as non restartsble anyway, it makes it so much fun and gives you a reason to have RCS/mini propulsion on even non-manoeuvring satellites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftNasty Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Those new models are exquisite. The Leo(Gemini) parachute RealChute compatibility config has the wrong name. It needs to be bluedog_Gemini_Parachute_A in the first line, for the Real Chute to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappystein Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Oh BTW did Someone ask about Scout uses? That is an Agena-B+ Upper stage with a provisional Agena C (never flown IRL) engine. Since I have my Solar panels on the narrower portion of the engine structure I have the flared fairing. Gets to ~530km non circularized orbit before Agena activates. And since that is a Scansat mission (250km is about ideal for performance) I had to circularize on the downward leg of the suborbital flight.

GoldForest Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 @CobaltWolf I know there's not a lot of information on it, but maybe as a little off to the side add-on for one of the upcoming updates, do you think you could do the GX rocket?
